    Hi guys,

    I’m an integrator in Los Angeles who’s put CatDV to use in several shops, including somewhere around 7-8 reality shows (Celeb Rehab, Millionaire Matchmaker, Destination Truth, etc..) in addition to running a few video archives and even a Sundance winning documentary on the system. I love it and think it’s clearly the best asset manager on the market.

    I’ll be trolling along with the Squarebox guys and try to provide some info on this, amazing, but deep, product, where I can.

    Nice to meet you all,

    Really excited to see a CatDV forum here, it’s an excellent tool and there’s really no other user forum out there. Thanks!

    From your screengrab, it looks like you might be ingesting MPEG-2 – is that right? I’ve had lots of problems with that format.

    If you convert your video to another format first, does the problem remain?

    It’s not just QT bugs that can hurt this fine app, but QTJava bugs also, I think (a subset, and less maintained than QT). CatDV is the largest Java Swing app I’ve ever seen, which is why there’s some oddities here & there.

    thx Allen, I forgot to post back here…the developer of CatDV reads this forum and responded direct to me with a fix – how’s that for service! An updated installer will be on their site soon I would imagine. We noticed QT/QT java problems after the snow upgrade, but they are slowly being found and dealt with. Cheers!
